More than a standard facial
Facials can play different roles depending on your skin, your goals and any other treatments you are having. Sometimes that means hydration and freshening tired-looking skin. At other times, a more targeted facial may be recommended to address concerns such as congestion, dryness or changes in skin texture.
At Origin Skin, we also use facials to support the skin between and after appropriate laser and energy-based treatments. Rather than combining everything into one appointment, each treatment is planned separately so your skin has the time and care it needs at each stage.
Common Causes & Contributing Factors
Treatment program support
Complement an appropriate laser or energy-based treatment program with separately scheduled skincare treatments.
Congestion & texture
Provide targeted skincare support where congestion, roughness or uneven texture is a concern.
Dull or tired-looking skin
Refresh the skin when it is feeling lacklustre or in need of some extra care.
Dryness & dehydration
Help replenish moisture and support skin that feels dry, tight or depleted.
Expectations & Recovery
Appointment Length
Appointment length will depend on the facial selected and what your skin needs on the day.
Treatment Details
Your facial will be customised using products and techniques selected for your skin, rather than following the same protocol for everyone.
Treatment Sensation
Facial treatments are designed to be comfortable. Sensation will vary depending on the products and techniques used.
After Treatment
Aftercare will depend on the facial performed and your skin at the time. Your practitioner will explain any skincare, sun protection or treatment precautions that apply.
Results & Sessions
Some people book an occasional facial when their skin needs extra care, while others may have facials incorporated into a broader skin treatment program.
Who is Suitable for this Treatment?
Facials can be adapted for many different skin types, concerns and stages of a skincare or treatment program. They may be suitable if you are looking to support:
​
☑ Dry or dehydrated skin
☑ Dull or tired-looking skin
☑ Congestion or uneven texture
☑ General skin maintenance
☑ Skin between appropriate treatment sessions
​
Suitability is assessed individually, particularly when you are undergoing laser, resurfacing or other advanced skin treatments. We will consider your skin, recent treatments, current skincare and any relevant health factors before recommending what is appropriate.
Why Choose Our Approach?
At Origin Skin, facials are planned with a broader understanding of skin health, advanced technology and treatment timing. Our team draws on medical knowledge and experience with laser and energy-based treatments when deciding what your skin may need and when a facial is appropriate.
​
Facials may also be incorporated into a wider treatment program. For example, after appropriate recovery from resurfacing, a facial may be recommended to support dry or flaky skin. Following rejuvenation or tightening treatments, a separately scheduled hydrating facial may be used to support the overall treatment plan.
​
We do not routinely combine facials and laser treatments in the same session. Where both are recommended, they are planned as separate appointments based on the treatment performed, how your skin is responding and practitioner assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. While facials can complement our advanced skin treatment programs, you do not need to be having laser treatment to book one. Your facial can be tailored to your skin and what you would like to address.
We plan facials and laser treatments as separate appointments rather than routinely combining them in the same session. The appropriate timing will depend on the laser or energy treatment, your skin and the type of facial being considered.

This depends on the treatment you have received and how your skin is recovering. There is no single timeframe that is appropriate for everyone. Your practitioner can advise when your skin is ready for a facial and what type of treatment is appropriate at that stage.
